Keighley pupils support Epilepsy awareness

Beechcliffe School class one students and staff join in the purple-themed epilepsy-awareness day activities in the sensory room raising £200

Students and staff at a Keighley school raised more than £200 for Epilepsy Action with a day of activities.

Beechliffe School staged the event last Thursday to tie in with an international day of epilepsy awareness.

Students paid £1 to dress in purple, and were also able to get snacks at a special cafe. Other activities included T-shirt designing, cake decorating and arts and crafts. Staff member Patricia McGinn made a cake for a raffle.

School spokesman, James Moorhouse, said that Epilepsy Action carried out a range of activities including specialist training for GPs, nurses and social workers.

“This charity sometimes goes unnoticed so we wanted to do something to help it,” he said.
